Goodbye stsMLXEditor

[Richard Gaskin]

Thanks.  I see it now.  I'm accustomed to finding licensing info within 
the download, so it didn't occur to me to go back to the download page 
to look for it.

I don't suppose it *needs* to be in the code or the download 
necessarily.  Anyone wanting to use the code can go back and download 
your web page to have a copy of the usage terms if they need them for 
future reference.
